As you can see, it was a great weekend across the board for the Diamond Dogs.

Particularly on the offensive side, Louisiana Tech performed in an elite manner against the Blazers.

In winning three of four games over UAB, Tech outscored the Blazers 31-14.

A number of Bulldogs continue to perform exceptionally on an individual basis as well.

Individual Statistics

Steele Netterville

30 RBI (24), 9 2B (42),

Parker Bates

Taylor Young

30 runs scored (14), 10 2B (18), 35 hits (67), 58 total bases (82)

Hunter Wells

Jonathan Fincher

5 wins (4), 2 CG (8), 1.62 ERA (33)

Jarret Whorff

5 wins (4)

Taylor Young makes this Tech offense go at the top of the order. When Young is on base, the Bulldogs are scoring runs.

If the season ended today, Jonathan Fincher would be in the mix to be not only Conference USA Pitcher of the Year but also a 1st team All-American.
